Dragons' Den star Rachel Elnaugh says new project not linked to Great Reset 'cult'
Ex- Dragons' Den star Rachel Elnaugh is locked in a battle with angry locals with some claiming her new project is some form of 'cult' believing in a "food apocalypse" and the "Great Reset". Elnaugh has helped to create a community farm in the heart of the Peak District in Cressbrook Dale.
Current changes to the 70-acre site include the installation of a teepee, a gravel path and the installation of wood and gravel stairs down a mud slope. But these changes have not only drawn criticism from locals but also seen the group be served with a notice from the Peak District National Park Authority stopping any work being carried out on the land without seeking the relevant planning consents for 28 days.
But the former Dragons' Den star says this is "propaganda". As our reporter was leaving Cressbrook Dale, he began chatting with a woman who turned out to be Rachel Elnaugh. Derbyshire Live originally contacted Rachel via email hoping to speak to her over the phone, but upon visiting the site we happened to bump into her.
"You discover that your new and very close neighbours have no regard for your feelings, health and wellbeing, for the preciousness of the land and for the institutions set up to protect what is important to all of us."
